About my design
by gumbolimbo   
Even monsters can get the creeps!

4 colors on dark grey, the red upholstery is meant to be printed with suede or flock ink so it appears a little bit raised and soft and tactile like real upholstery.

Cool one, but I think these conception's aren't fit to a shirt. Maybe a front perspective would work more.

AdderXYU
AdderXYU on Sep 22 '08
All I'd suggest is that the wallpaper went up a little higher... it seems to sit a little low on the chest. Either that or if there was less space between the main design and the clock. Otherwise, though, a really great piece, with some really smart design choices

nallukka
nallukka on Sep 25 '08
I prefer it on denim, navy, or eggplant/custom purple, NOT plain gray (too many already), not brown/army, not olive... just a hint of color that would be like shadows under a full moon.

You do realize you've perfectly executed the angle and placement, right? I want this.
nallukka
nallukka on Sep 25 '08
I also have a leather "bordeaux" couch with thick burnt orange velvet on dark gold tapestry in a very similar pattern, and yeah. It feels like home. Except my only monster is an orange fluffball kitty cat.

I found this incredibly well done, and consequently just had to blog it. This really deserves a print, and I hope Threadless makes it happen.

I keep noticing little things I didn't see before. First was the little guy under the front of the chair and now it's the coffins in the clock shadow.

This is an instant print.

Why didn't this one print? With all respect due to other designs, this one is so much more refined than the other "scared" ones like the monster with kids under the bed one (the colors on that one turned me off from it, whereas red flocked material... yikes, they've used flocking for far lesser things... I know... I stared and said "how" then said "oh. select. ugh." then gave this $5 buy buy buy. If they printed it, I would fully expect some textured paints for that chair (my couch has leather on one side of each cushion turned around to velvet-on-silk on the squishier side... bordeaux is totally haute! it needs to be printed!)
